Back at Titan's Tower Starfire wanted to sing the song of victories...all
40,000 verses.
"Uh, Star. Why don't we just have pizza?" Robin asked.
"YEAH! All-veggie pizza for all!" BB shouted.
"What about you Cy?" Robin asked.
"Whatever." Cy said walking away to his room.
All the others were looking at him as he left the room.
"Our friend is in pain, measures must be taken. Shall I go make the pudding of sadness?"
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!" Robin, BB and Rae exclaimed.
"What shall we-"
"We should give him some time alone." Robin said knowing what was on Cy's mind. When in actuality he only knew half of what was on Cyborg's mind.
::In Cyborg's Room::
"What am I going to do?"
"Should I tell them"
"Is there anything that can be done?"
All these questions and more were racing through his head. He looked at the diagnostic of himself on his computer in his room. It was a virus. He must've acquired it when they last fought Overload. It was a rare virus, one used to destroy human tissue but also any type of technology. He was faced with a dilemma of epic proportions. His human body was being destroyed at the same time his cybernetic side was and by the way the diagnostic looks he only has about a week to live.
He was wondering how could he have gotten it and it go unnoticed for so long. After further investigation he found out that in humans it's acceleration by emotions.
His eyes widened realizing why it spread so fast, his constant thinking about Raven.
He screamed at the top of his lungs and broke his research table with a double ax handle smash. He emotions had gotten the best of him and he started to cry uncontrollably. He sat on his bed looking up and realized that he could do only one thing. Leave. All the other Titans had turned in for the night, which was the perfect time for him to go. He left everything and not telling them anything, he didn't want them to worry. He left a CD on the coffee table in the living room of the tower that only had the word "Play" on it. He walked away, looking back once. He said "Bye, my frie—my family" and left never to return.
The next morning, the Titans all gathered in the living room with BB making breakfast.
"Where's Cy? Shouldn't be in here right about now battling my for which type of breakfast we should have?" BB asked.
"He's had a lot on his mind lately, but maybe someone should go check and see if he's ok." Robin said.
"Ooh, Ooh, I wish to-"
"Raven, why don't you go see if he's ok." Robin said cutting her off also while trying to push the preverbal envelope.
Raven raised one eyebrow while looking up saying "Fine" in her normal cold way.
She knocked on his door.
"Cyborg?"
"Cyborg are you there?" She knocked again.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos" She used her powers to bypass the lock on his door.
When it opened she saw that he was missing. She looked around but found nothing. As she passed his hard, steel bed she ran her hand across it thinking "I wish you didn't have to live this way."
"Raven! Come here quick!" BB yelled out.
She left his room and closed the door and ran into the living room to see them all watching the CD that he had left for them.
::Cyborg's recording on the tv::
"Hey guys, I know that I've been acting weird lately."
"Kinda hard not to miss." BB said.
"SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Robin and Starfire said.
::Back to the recording::
"I'm sorry for that. ::sigh:: I know you're wondering where I am and why I left. I left because there are things on my mind and because I just noticed that I have contracted a virus that's killing me. I didn't tell any of you because I didn't want you to worry, I know you're wondering why am I telling you now. It's because I think I may have found a way to get it out but I don't know what the consequences will be. Please don't come looking for me, it's better this way. I don't know if I'll be back or even if I'll be the same. You're my friends--no you're my family and I love you all. BB, even though we disagree about what to eat we always agree at having as much fun as we can; don't ever change. Starfire, I love your innocence and how you're so willing to trust us. Robin, you and me go back to even before the Titans were made. You're my brother and nothing will change that. Raven ::gulps to hold back tears:: you—you."
It shows Cyborg getting up and turning the recording off.
There wasn't a dry eye in the room, all of them looked at Raven wondering what he was going to say. Raven holding back her emotions put her hood over her head and started to leave the room when she was cut off by Beast Boy.
"How can you just leave like that?! He just poured his heart out and this is what you do?!" Beast Boy said with tears running down his eyes.
"You still don't get it?! I can't show any emotion. If I do I could kill someone. Cyborg was—is my friend too and he will be missed." Raven replied as she left the room.
Raven entered her room and closed her door. She sat down on her bed and looked at the picture of her and Cyborg when they were at the fair. A tear ran down her cheek and landed on the picture.
"Why did you go? What did you need to tell me? Come back to me Cyborg please." Was all that she could say when her powers blew out the lights in her room.
::Across town::
Cyborg was getting on a bus to head back to where he was fixed. He sat down and looked out the window looking at his reflection. He hung his head down; when he looked up he saw Raven's reflection. He placed his metallic hand on her cheek and she faded away. He hung his head again knowing that it was the last he would see her.
End of Chapter 3. Will the Titans go after Cyborg? Do they know where he is? What will Raven do? What will Cyborg do? Stay tuned for the next chapter. R&R please.
